[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Am][C][G][Em]
[C][G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
It's [G]high on a mountain,
the warm winds are blowing
And where the winds are [Am]blowing [C]to there
ain't no way of [G]knowing
The mountain grass [Em]is short,
[C]it's dry and close to bur[G]ning
Crying out for [Am]water [C]as
the season's [G]turning

[Verse 2]
[G]The sweet smell of the [Em]pines,
[C]the tall western ced[G]ar
Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through the
mountains like a [G]river

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 3]
And I've been too long [G]away
from this wild open sky
On the concrete trails that [Am]wind [C]through
the canyons dark and [G]wide
With the sounds of people [Em]talking[C]
in words of blue and [G]gray
And smells of doors an[Am]d windows
[C]closed against the day[G]

[Verse 4]
The sweet smell of [Em]the pines,
[C]the tall western[G] cedar
Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through the mountains

[Interlude 2]
like a river
[G][Am][C][G][Em][C]
[G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now the dust lies thick and heavy
where my feet are falling
There's nothing but [Am]the sound
[C]of the jay[G]birds calling
My mind grows dry and [Em]thirsty[C]
as the memories [G]linger
Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through the
mountains like a [G]river

[Verse 6]
The sweet smell of the [Em]pines,
[C]the tall western ced[G]ar
Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through the mountains like
a [G]river

[Interlude 3]
[G][Em][C][G][Am][C][G]
[Em][C][G][Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]The[Em][C][G][Am][C]
[G][Em][C][G][Am][C]
[G]sweet smell of the pin[Em]es,
[C]the tall western ced[G]ar
Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through
the mountains like a [G]river

[Verse 8]
[G]The sweet smell of the [Em]pines,
[C]the tall western ced[G]ar[D]
[G]Drifting on the [Am]wind [C]through the

[Outro 1]
mountains like a river
